Execution of a Parricide at Blount Holly, H.:J. A. pcarftU 'Record of" Crime. A YCUTH KILLS HIS FATHER AT THE SUGGESTION • OF HIS MOTHER, Hie Grtiilt Confessed. SCENE AT THE SCAFFOLD [Srecill Report to The Press ] Yesterday, lit 12}£ o’clock, GharlesH, Brooks, con ylcted of the murder of his father near Viucentown, N. J., on the 12th March, 1863, paid the penalty ofhis orime with his life, He was publicly hanged in the yard of the Mount Holly jail in the presenoe of about five hundred persons. The career of the youthful murderer is calculated to fill one with hor ror and dismay that there should throb in this en lightened age a heart bo wioked and depraved. Since the commission of the murder, there has scarcely been any other topic discoursed upon in the locality, and has filled all who heard it with oonster nation. His father, Job Brooks, was an honest farmer of Vincentown, possessed of a comfortable farm and dwelling. The property was scarooly suffi cient to excite the cupidity .of an ordinary felon, for the recompense was too small for the risk to be undertaken, in taking foul measures to prooure it. The young man was about twenty-three years old, of fine personal appearance, robust, healthy, anu with more thau ordinarily intelligent appearance. His parents were not friendly-disposed towards each other, and the boy grew up into manhood embued with no respect for the authors of his being. His sister married a man named Timothy Bidgway, who, it is said, was anxious to get rid of 11 the old man,” that Tim. and Charles should enjoy the farm. For many months, as the parricide confessed on the scaffold, he was continually coaxed by Bldg way to kill the father, and the deed was postponed from time to time, because ,the youthful Brooks oould not surmount the compunctions of his conscience. The mother, as it would appear from the confession, was equally implicated, and horrible to say, ofl’ered her son $75 if he would but kill his father ! It was finally agreed between Bldgway and Brooks that they should follow the old m&n to church, and disputed him on hiß return home. Old Brooks left the church in company with his lady-ftiends, from whom he parted at a cross road. Then followed the two men, as confessed by young Brooks; he himself went forward in ths darkness of the road and hit his father with a thick club, rendering him senseless. Kidgway was to have followed and Btabbed the wounded man. Ho did not come, however, and the awful murder waa completed by the son, who argued that it was cruel to leave the “job half done. At the trial, young Brooks stated that no one was concerned in Hie foul deed but himself, and thus his mother and Kidgway escaped justice. EUlgway has sinoe en- Ustedi and is serving in.the 39th New Jersey-Regi ment.' A few days ago the prisoner confeseedtas Built, and wrote out his story in his cell, at conside rable length. He thus speaks of the horrible mur *s 'have been coaxed ever since November, in IS6I, -* n 4 i o that murder on my father. I told Tim that X SSSrSSXcEp O?three week?, he would ask mother where I waa, that 1 didn't come home. After I did £° mo ther would tell me Tim wanted to see me—he> wanted to for something particular. I would go and upp him. All hiß talk was about putting the old man out of the way. I waa picked at and tormented about it °so muon for the la.t eiKhteenmonths,bfr. t j,bi. rivAnriftil murder, that I would rather meet a rattlesnake any time, than my father. When I left him at Irick’s lane-end he wanted to know if I would do that to-night; I told him that we had better put it off for a few weeks, l w ® “J to go over to Pemberton, to-morrow to work ; I promised Wb Seeds that 1^ would come over tomorrow morning to 8“ t°for . t him to ect rid of him 5 that £ would SoSb £v« some night and do it; he says, <• You told me that when you lived at Butterworth b, and never ZStt/l told him that I would tome over come night, for they would judge me for it if I do n to night; he said they would not judge me, I would he the last one that ever would be judged, he says. ■ “ Charley, if you will put him _ out of the way to nishtlwiil help you do it; I will meet you at the owner oi the lot and help yon put him away; yon can goto Mount Holly to-morrow and make>your ielf lively, and I will go over and go to wow, as common, and people will not mlstruat that anything “rwas'walking along with my father and tMWns; he raid there was some one coming behind , I lookea back; I thought I saw Timothy Bidgway coming behind; I ran up and struck him three or four times, and run up ¥> the house and put the stick on the wood-pile arid come back, and there was no one thlto and P I had to finish him; after I had put him In the ditch, I went to the house, and went up stairs to bed to take my natural rest; after I had been in bed about five minutes, the window frames began to rattle, and I could not sleep; I 'J® 3 * n - I f s ?”JJ}}{ night, so that I could not rest; I laid m bed till morning, but did not sleep more than two hourß all sight: I got up next morning, and went out and cut off some wood j while I was cutting the wood, every time that I would look down the road, the teara •wculd begin to float in my eyes, bo that I oould not work; I would have to quit, and have a oryiug Bpell got enough wood cut off to last that day, I went in? 0 the houfietoget my breakfast. After breakfast I started for Mount Holly, on the l road .from our own residence to Eayrestown. Be»ore X got to the folks of the road, by Franklin Beacon's, my heart failed me bo that I had to ait dowo. I sat there for fifteen minutesiathe jointof fence. When I got up the ground was wet with tears. I got up and started down to Eayreatown, stopped arthe talked with Joseph Wilson. While I was talking with Wilson I hadn't the heart to look him in the face. I started for Mount Holly. After I eot to Holly I had to run ab )ut from one place to another 1 as soon aB I sat flown a few minutes the tears would begin to float in my eyeß. I went to Pemberton with William Sapp. There was some young ladies there that I knew. I tried to make myself lively with them, but my heart was in mv mouth and the tears were in my eyes, so that I had to leave them. ' . After I had my trial, before Tim could get me to come out and say that I knew nothing -about it, he wanted me to kill myself, ror they w»s only keeping me for a wiiness against him—then they was agoiog to hang me. He found out that he could not get me to kill myself,then he wanted me to break jail and run away. I told him that I could not get out or here. He told me to take my case-knife and nick it on the edge, and Baw the bars off, and take my blankets, and make a rope of them to get over the wail with. He has wanted me to coax mother to poisonfather to death,for she could do it better thau what we could; she oould take and put it into bis coffee, and no one would know what was the matter with him. THE EXECUTION. There was a great demand for admission to the jail, to witness the execution, and Sheriff Lippin cott was obliged to have tickets printed as follows: EXECUTION OF CHARLES H BROOKS, December 11th, ISG3. PASS THK BEARER. The yard was densely filled with people, there be ing no females in the audience; except suoh as could peep through the windows of the jail, where they were held for crime. The unhappy mother of Brooks was not present. Brooks walked to the scatt'old without a sigh or tremor, and in am wer to a query from the sheriff whether he had anything to say, re plied with no signs of fear, in a ten*minutes’ speech. I have been coaxed into this thing. They gave me no peace, and told me if the old man was gut of the way I could get along better. Timothy Eidg way was always at me to do it. X was intoxioated at the time, and did not know what I was doing un til it was too late. I struck the old mas on the head, and Tim Bidgway out his throat. I had been coaxed, and almost hired, to do this deed, and they ought to be here instead of me. Tim had a good deal of influence over me and mother, and I was coaxed ever since November, 1861. On the Sunday after,-I went over to Ridgway’a, and Tim wanted me to run away. He said they were going to take me up. I told him I had no money nor olothes to go away with. He said mother had plenty of money. I told him she needed that to live on. He told me to never mind that—be would take good care that she should have plenty to eat and wear. ■ Since! was brought back he told me if I would come out and say I didn’t know anything about the murder, they would give me a new trial. Mother offered me $75 to do the deed. I wab coaxed into it, and they that coaxed are clear, when they ought to be standing here to*day where I am. Mother often talked about it, and went tc the fortunetellers, and they told her many ways to get rid of the Old man, 1 would not be here to* cay if it was not for two ras cals, or whatever you may call them. 'When Brooks had oeaaed speaking, the Bev. Mr. Lawrence approached him, and after reading the fifty-first Psalm they knelt upon the platform, while the Rev. gentleman offered an appropriate prayer. During the prayer Brooks was seen to observe closely the mechanism of the gallowß. At twenty minutes past twelve the sheriff drew down the j&tal cap, and the unhappy youth had given the last look at earthly things. 'A brief, terri ble moment of suspense—the rope is carefully ad justed— suddenly the weights fall—a body swings before our eyet—its soul is in eternity. Six hun dred spectators realize that “The wages of Sin iB death!' 1 THE CITY. Tile Thei DECEMBER 11, 1862. I DECEMBER 11, 1863 6 M..... 3 P. M. 6A.

All books of depositors are required to be given him, In order that they may be settled, and the aooounta made out. Mr. Sparing, the assignee, applied to.the court a few months ago for an order to sell certain securities held by the company, and the request was granted, with a discretionary power to sell at the board of brokers or at publio sale certain amounts of stocks, and Beourities, in such manner as he might judge most beneficial to the in terests of depositors. At the time the concern ex* ploded, it held as collateral a large number of shares of stock, the value of some of which has since then greatly appreciated. In one instance, Stook which then sold at $2 per share, has advanced, and is now selling at $3O. Had the assignee yielded to the importunities of some of the depository and then sold out, they, and not the assignee, would have lost, The institution has been nearly three years out of existence, and the depositors have so pressed the assignee, that he has ar last resolved to sell, though there is yet a prospeot of even a larger advance in some of the securities. The sale ol the stocks, under order Of the court, will, it is exported, realize enough to paya first dividend of from eight to ton percent The assignee will file his account immediately, and an auditor will be appointed, so that the dividend will be deolared some time during the coming month. A large number of suits are pending against persons who were in debt to the fund, the adjudication of Which will consume considerable time. In many eases compromises must be made ; but, in any event, the assignee will be moved only by a consideration as to the best interests of the depositors. Further dividends will be made from time to time as col lections may be made. The Home of the Colored Bace.— Rev. Ohauncey Leonard, colored, for several years in charge of a large sohool for colored youth in Baltl more, and more recently the popular pastor of a Baptist church, composed of his own people, in 'Washington city, embarked on a trading vessel from Boston, February 4th, last, for Western Africa. His purpose ,was to examine Liberia, and to make ar rangements for the permanent settlement in that Republic of himself and lamily, and such of hiß friends AS might eleet to accompany him. It will be seen, bom the subjoined communication from him, that he hr gratified with the condition of the rising African State. As the convictions of an intelligent and worthy man, we trust that they may have their effect upon his race in the United States, and Stimulate its members to go up and possess their an cestral land, and help to erect an honorable and lasting nationality: Shit M. U. Stevens, Atlantic Ocean, Nbab Sibiuia I.KONZ, Oct. 13,1863. My Deab Sib : I reached Sierra Leone on the 23d March last, alter a. voyage of forty-four days out from Boston. While there I had an attack of African fever. Just two weeks after arriving there, ■1 took passage on the English mail steamer for Cape Palmas, and [embed there on the 16th April, where i Yf«a again taken with the fever two hoars ft iter landtag. These attacks prostrated me very muolb l recovered sufficiently in four weeks to move about to examine the farm lands in that region, with which I was much pleased. I noticed the surface of the country. It is not hat, as I had supposed, but beautifully diversified with hill, and dale, and plea sant valleys, teaming with the delicious fruits of this tropical clime; here and there bounded by rivers, creeks, and springs, yielding dear and re freshing waters for the use of man. I was, in deed, happily disappointed to find them so eool and pure, and as sweet as any I ever drank. I called upon Bishop Payne, at the Cape Episco pal Mission-house, and passed a few hours with him very pleasantly. He has done a good work for Afrioa, and seemed zealous in the noble cause to which the Saviour has called him. I spent much of my time with Chief Justice Drayton and hie good lady, and was treated with marked attention, Cape Palmas is supplied with very fine oysters. The land in this country is considered superior for rais ing sugarcane, coffee, and vegetables, and some of the citizens are beginning to grow cotton. . _ I visited JSinoe, and was much pleased with the towns on the banka of the Since river. Farming ton, Louisiana, and Sesoington are not thickly set tled as they are in farming districts. The land is excellent lor raising almost all kinds of grain, vege tables and fruits. Colonel Crayton has a farm on this river of four hundred acres. I have never seeD ao great a variety of articles on one farm growing at the same time. I saw rice, casaada, sweet potatoes, oorn, lima beans, watermelons, etl dcee, plantains, bananas, pea nuts, ochre, arrow root, tobacco, coffee, cotton, ginger, &c. He had just burnt a large brick kiln for his own use. The banks of this river furnish capital clay for this pur pose. In the centre of his farm are. som? six or eight bamboo-thr.tched huts for the Congoes or re captured Africans, obtained from the Government. These are daily receiving instruction from him in farming. The public farm, with a new and commo dious receptacle, joins his farm, and the children on both fArms are daily instructed by a local-preacher stationed near for the purpose. . - At Greenville I formed a very agreeable acquaint ancewith Rev. James M. Priest, Vice President elect of Siberia. 'He appears to be an active man. My old friend and classmate, Dr. Snowdon, resides here, and in connection with his limited practice and scant pay, is now turning his attention to farm ing. There are several very superior families in Greenville, but they all complain of the few inhabi tants in the country ab being too feeble in numbers to resist successfully the natives, should they make an Attack upon them. They most earnestly desire emigration, that they may be strong enough to re sist the invader, and the more successfully devote their Attention to agriculture, that Sinoe may not be the least, but equal to any of the couuties of the Republic. I sailed up the Sinoe river, in company with Col. Clayton and Rev. J. W. Roberts, as far as the falls, some twenty-two mileß from its outlet. I consider the falls as a splendid site for a saw-mill. It has nearly twenty feet fall of water. * The table lands above, According to the estimate made by his Excellency President Beneon, are from 160 to 170 feet high. The lice farms on the river banks look finely* From Senoe I proceeded to Buchanan, but was there taken flick with the fever, so that I was pre vented from viflitine; Baxley or Finley, consequent )y I saw but little of the St. John’s river or of Basso and the St. Paul’s river seem to be the centre of attraction to many, specially to those who do not like country life. There are some very fine people in Monrovia, who are constantly laboiv inff for the progress of this noble infant Republic. I was delighted with the towns and the fine farms on this river. I am thus far’much pleased with my visit, although I have suffered much from repeated attacks of the fever, and have labored under many disadvantages in travelling for the want of means. Believe me, as ever, your friend and co-worker in the right cause. OHAUNGEY LEONARD. Attempt at Smuggling.—A shrewd at tempt at smuggling whisky on board the United States steamer Massachusetts, now lying in the stream off the navy yard, was discovered yesterday morning. This vessel is employed to carry stores, &c. ? to the vessels in the South Atlantic Blockading Squadron, and as such also conveys private boxes for the officers and seamen from their friends in the North. A box was delivered at the navy yard yes terday marked for a person on the United States frigate Ironsides, off'Charleston, to go by the Massa chusetts, and as it was being taken on board that vessel, it was discovered that the box leaked. What got out was tasted and found to be rather strong. Curiosity being exoited, the box was opened, and enclosed in it was a package resembling a fine, large sugar-cured ham', covered as usual. This being cut, exposed to view three small cans, containing what is commonly termed by theMndians “ fire water.” . As a matter of course, the said water was confiscated. It is quite likely that such attempts at illegal traf ficking are frequentlycarriedon,and efforts should be made to prevent it. Accidents. — James Winner, employed at the steam bakery, Broad and Buttonwood, had hia hand crushed yesterday in the machinery.

[Before Mr. Alderman Beitter. 3 Stealing a Watch. ‘A young man, giving the name of G-eorge Morns, was arraigned before Alderman Beitler at the Cen tral Station yeaterday, on the oharge of stealing a watch, valued at 2SO dollars, from a man named John Xj. Hopkins. _' . Mr. Hopkins testified that he was met at a tavern in the vicinity of Thiiteenth and Vine, by the de fendant and three others, who asked him _to treat, which he did. They Boon after went out, and he miseed his watch, which had been stolen in the meantime. He then ram out, and went down Thir teenth street in search of them, and, on inquiry, as certained that they had got in the car, aml were going down Thirteenth. The services of Officer Lynn were then procured, and they started for .the car, which they reached In time to catch Morris, the other three having escaped. Mr. Hopkins recog nized him as being one of the party that were in the tavern at the time he waß robbed. Moiris denied ever seeing him before, or knowing anything about the matter, ft 3 he had been op in Girard avenue visiting a friend, and was riding down, when the other three chaps got in. me watch wan not found on his person. The alderman committed him for a further hearing. [Before Mr. Alderman White. 1 An Unparalleled Case of .Blgainy. An Englishman, named Thomas Ladd, was taken before the Police Magistrate of the Fifth ward, last evening, on the charge of bigamy. The details or this case show a lamentable ignorance of the moral as well as common and statute law that certainly stands without a parallel in the poliee annals of the county. We doubt much whether France can pre- S *lt *Seenis from the evidence adduced that the de fendant married a widow with a child, a little girl about seven years old. This took place at Graves end, England, a number of years ago. He became the father of three boys. When the little girl of seven reached the age of about sixteen the defend ant, her steprnther, threatened to turn her and her mother out of house and home, if she, the inexpe rienced girl, did not marry him. The husband pro cured the services or a Gravesend lawyer, and he found no difficulty in drawing up papers granting a separation; this was brought to the house, and the mother signed it. This, of course, waß not a divorce. The affection and love of a daughter for her mother were now put to the test, which finally resulted in the stepdaughter agreeing to become hiß wife in order to eave her mother and the three little brothers from being turned out of doors, and thus become obj ects of charity in a cold, unfeeling, uncharitable world. The step-father lived with his step-daughter as hus band and wife. Finally, they all came to Ameriea, landing, about a year since, at New York. The young wife was siok with the ship-fever; the brutal man abuied her; she was not well provided for.' She finally said that she could not live with him ae his wife, beoause it was immoral, and a sin in the sight of God. He perslited in his brutal efforts ; she resisted him, left him, went from one place to another; he followed her; threaten ed if she did not come and live with him, aB his wife, there would he bloody work. On one occasion he forced her to yield under threats of death, and he sprang at her, when she attempted to escape from hiß embrace, and drew a razor threatening to kill her. Her screams of murder brought assistance and the coward released his hold. She obtained work at several places In New York, Boston, and other parts • vowed she could not live with him as his wife, but would as his daughter. But in every instanoe he violated his pledge upon inducing her to return. Notlong since the girl, half-distracted, not what to do, came to Philadelphia and obtained work for herself! Her stepfather-hasband, mother, and the three little.hove had come to thta city previous ly. Here he importuned her ; dogged her pathwayj offered indignities to her, and finally she fled as though from a monster. . He proceeded to the Central Station and had a warrant of arrest issued. - This w»b placed in the hands of the detectives, who did not succeed In finding her. By some means or otftfer she called upon* Alderman White for information, and, on making her statement, of which the above is a synopsis, he at once saw that there had been a dear violation of the law against incest. The thirty-eighth section of the re vised penal oode, on the law of affinity, say a that a man shall not marry his wife's daughter. Thepenalty for violating this law is three years’ imprisonment and a fine ox $5OO, it also says such a marriage is The first wife, that is the mother of the proseou trix, not being present, the case went over for an other hearing; the defendant being committed in default of $3,000 bail. It is said that he enlisted in the army In Boston as an attaohd of a hospital, in which capacity he served four months and then left. Whether this Is equivalent to desertion or not is for the; military .authorities to say. The defendant works at Camden, New Jersey, but lives in Philadel phia. Robbery. It was reported at the lieutenants 1 levee yesterday morning that the soap and candle factory of Messrs. Cook & Ogden, on Baoe street, was forcibly entered on Thursday night, and robbed of Japan wax to the Amount of $l3, The door ww twed through. LEGAL INTELLIGENCE. Supreme Court At Nisi Prlus—Justice Strong. Robert B. Kirkpatrick vs. Edwin Kirkpatrick.. This waa an action of conspiracy brought by plaintiff agninst E. Kirkpatrick, his brother, and Jacob H, Lex, bis brother-in’ law, and former partner. Jacob H. Lex was not served with a process, and the trial proceeded against Edwin Kirkpatrick. The plain tiff alleges that the firm of Lex A Kirkpatrick, de siring a further line of credit from S. & W, Welsh, obtained a guarantee from David KirkDatrick, the father of Robert and Edwin, to Messrs. Welsh ; that on August 30, 1856, Jacob H. Lex withdrew the balance remaining in bank to protect said Kirk patrick on the guarantee he had given for $20,000, and that this was done by the knowledge and advloe of Edwin Kirkpatrick. The plaintiff' also alleged that the firm was solvent, and that this act caused the failure.. Evidence to sustain these Allegations was heard; and the plaintiffs case rested. Mr. Phillips, oounsel for the defendant, then moved for a non suit, upon whioh motion the judge reserved his decision until MondAy morning. Benjamin H. Brewster and David Paul Brown for plaintiff *, Edward H. Weil and Henry M. Phillips for defendant. Court of Oyer and Terminer and Quarter Sessions—Judge Allison. SBNTItNCKS.
